For Sale or Lease: 1695 Minnesota Ave, Columbus, OH 43211. Zoned Mixed Use and positioned on the prominent corner of Cleveland Ave and Minnesota Ave, this two-story North Linden property offers a rare opportunity for an owner-user, investor, entrepreneur, or tenant seeking visibility, flexibility, and multiple income paths.
Located along a corridor receiving renewed attention through the One Linden plan and Cleveland Avenue business revitalization efforts, the property is well positioned for neighborhood-serving uses. Local reporting notes Linden has been identified as underserved in retail categories, with efforts focused on bringing new businesses back to Cleveland Avenue.
The mixed-use zoning creates broad potential for an eating and drinking establishment, commercial day care center, professional office, service-based business, live/work concept, or research, development, and testing lab, subject to buyer or tenant verification with the City of Columbus. Columbus identifies UGN-1 as an Urban General 1 mixed-use district, with allowable uses directed to Table E.20.100.A of the Title 34 Zoning Code.
The upper portion offers a compelling value-add opportunity with potential residential, office, studio, or private-use space. Classic architectural character, including two fireplaces, gives the upstairs charm rarely found in typical commercial inventory.
Positioned on a visible corner lot, this property offers frontage, accessibility, and adaptive reuse potential in an evolving Columbus neighborhood. The planned Linden Green Line, a 58-acre linear park connecting neighborhoods, schools, parks, businesses, and community assets, adds another long-term neighborhood improvement story for future users and investors.
